Chilean students get naked in the name of education

In Valparaiso, about 121 km (75 miles) northwest of Santiago, students marched through the streets to demand the government change the public state education system. The banners say: "Free Education now".
From Europe to Midlle East to America people are asking for the same things: Rights, Freedom, Future, Health.
Since the panic of 2008 Britain, US, European Union and Japan spent $5 trillion in quantitative easing to save those "self-styled masters of the universe" from Wall Street. 
Why do we never find money for what people really want?
In the meanwhile, China has allocated a total of 10.3 billion yuan ($ 1.58 billion) this year to reward outstanding college students and provide aid to those with financial difficulties.
Who is wrong?

Prominent Swiss Politician Calls For Arrest of Kissinger at Bilderberg

A prominent member of Switzerland’s largest political party has called upon federal authorities to arrest Henry Kissinger as a war criminal if he attends the 2011 Bilderberg conference of global power brokers at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz.
Swiss People’s Party representative Dominique Baettig wrote a letter to the General Prosecutor of the Swiss Federation in which he asked, “In the name of Cantonal Sovereignty and independence, but especially of the Justice’s independence from executive power – may it be Federal or Cantonal – I ask you to check abroad for Arrest Warrants delivered by various Courts, Judges and also for all valid criminal complaints against the persons who were, amongst others, cited as mere examples in my (enclosed) letters to Mrs. Simonetta Sommaruga, Federal Counselor and Mrs. Barbara Janom Steiner, Cantonal Counselor and of course, to arrest them before diligent extraditions.”
Baettig’s letter also calls for the apprehension of George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but neither are likely to be attending the conference. However, Kissinger is a regular Bilderberg attendee and is almost certain to be present in St. Moritz.
Kissinger, National Security Advisor and later Secretary of State for President Nixon and President Ford, has been accused of being complicit in a number of war crimes in Indochina, Bangladesh, Chile, Cyprus and East Timor. Numerous activists have attempted to arrest him over the years under the Geneva Conventions Act.

Capitalism at it's finest

A 78 percent return. $726 million profit. John Paulson, the hedge fund king, put his money on the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Paulson, in fact, bought Lehman bonds after the collapse of the bank at an average price of 13 cents per dollar.
Now with any plan to get some compensation to creditors, according to Wall Street Journal, Paulson will come out with his pockets full of money. 
If, therefore, even the rival plan sponsored by Goldman Sachs was approved, Paulson would earn $350 million. However, at least another hedge fund still could contend the prize for the most profitable bet on Lehman: the unknown Owl Creek Asset Management may make a profit of $71.6 million, a yield of 94% on the initial investment. Money makes money

John Paulson is not related to former Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.
